NAME
     puc -- PCI "Universal" Communications driver

SYNOPSIS
     device pci
     device puc
     device sio
     device ppc
     options PUC_FASTINTR

DESCRIPTION
     This  driver acts as a shim to connect PCI serial and parallel ports to the
     sio(4) and ppc(4) driver.

     The list of supported devices is in sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c.  Support for new
     cards should be added there.

     If the PUC_FASTINTR option is used, the driver will try to use fast  inter-
     rupts.   This  should lower the interrupt latency and should be used if the
     sio(4) driver reports silo overflow errors.  It cannot be used if	the  in-
     terrupt is shared.

SEE ALSO
     ppc(4), sio(4)

HISTORY
     This  driver took the idea from the NetBSD puc(4) driver and still uses the
     same structure to describe cards, to ease exchanging card info.

BUGS
     Only serial ports are supported through the sio(4) driver at the moment.
